Part of me wonders if we really do want to make this "easy" for the user :/

If people are determined to subvert this, they're likely to do it by sandwiching additional tasks between configure/compile/install in both cases. It's better to explicitly force adding the 'network' flag to those extra tasks then, as it can be clearly seen, and questions can be asked in code review.
